鰋鮡鱼类(Glyptosternoid fishes)的系统进化和动物地理学研究

鰋鮡鱼类共包括9 属43 种（亚种），隶属于鲇形目（Siluriformes）鮡科 （Sisoridae）鰋鮡亚科（Glyptosternae）中鰋鮡族（Tribe Glyptosternini）的鰋鮡 亚族（Subtribe Glyptosternina）。鰋鮡鱼类形态上的共同特征为：无胸吸着器，胸、 腹鳍水平展开，第一根鳍条完全分节或在外缘生出许多软骨细条，被外表皮所裹， 在腹面看到的是许多与分节或软骨细条大致对应的横纹皱褶。鰋鮡鱼类集中分布 于青藏高原周边的水系中，部分属种向西分布到了中亚地区的阿姆河上游，是适 应山区急流环境的一群鱼类。近年来一系列的研究表明，鰋鮡鱼类为一单系类群， 它的起源和演化与青藏高原的隆升有着直接的关系。鰋鮡鱼类的系统发育研究， 可以为青藏高原隆升的年代、幅度和形式提供间接的证据，其系统发育树的拓扑 结构也直接反映了东喜马拉雅地区诸水系的形成与演变。 本研究对鰋鮡鱼类9 属进行了系统整理。1. 发现并描述了异齿鰋属 （Oreoglanis）两新种，分别为分布于景东无量山（澜沧江水系）的景东异齿鰋 （O. jingdongensis）和分布于怒江水系南景河和南滚河的无斑异齿鰋（O. immaculatus）。认为分布于中国的异齿鰋属鱼类均属于尖须异齿鰋种组（O. siamensis species group）。指出区分异齿鰋属两个种组：尖须异齿鰋种组和细尾 异齿鰋种组（O. delacouri species group）的特征是下唇中部是否具有中央缺刻， 尾型的差别（新月型尾或凹型尾）不能用来区分两个种组，给出了异齿鰋属的检 索表，并绘制了异齿鰋属鱼类分布图。2. 对鮡属（Pareuchiloglanis）鱼类进行了 系统整理，通过外部形态度量性状的比较，认为分布于澜沧江水系的，曾经被鉴 定为扁头鮡（P. kamengensis）的标本，应属于大鳍鮡（P. macropterus），扁头鮡 和大鳍鮡之间的最明显的差别在于腹鳍前长的不同。前者的腹鳍前长为体长的 53.2-64.9%，后者的腹鳍前长均不达体长的50%。3. 通过比较金沙江水系分布的 5 种鮡属鱼类，中华鮡（P. sinensis）、前臀鮡（P. anteanalis）、壮体鮡（P. robusta）、 四川鮡（P. sichuanensis）和天全鮡（P. tianquanensis），认为天全鮡和四川鮡之 间分布水系重叠，外部形态亦无差别，天全鮡很可能为四川鮡的同物异名。给出 了鮡属鱼类的系统检索表，并绘制了鮡属鱼类分布图。利用分子系统学的原理和方法对鰋鮡鱼类进行系统发育研究。测定了6 属 15 种鰋鮡鱼类和鮡科中非鰋鮡鱼类4 属7 种共28 个体的线粒体Cyt b 基因部分 片段和全序列（1138 bp），结合从GenBank 下载的相关类群相同的基因序列，以 魾属（Bagarius）的巨魾（B. yarrelli），纹胸鮡属（Glyptothorax）的穴形纹胸鮡 （G. cavia）、亮背纹胸鮡（G. dorsalis）、扎那纹胸鮡（G. zainaensis），福建纹胸 鮡（G. fukiensis fukiensis）、海南纹胸鮡（G. fukiensis hainanensis），黑鮡属（Gagata） 的长丝黑鮡（G. dolichonema）以及褶鮡属（Pseudecheneis）的黄斑褶鮡（P. sulcatus） 和无斑褶鮡（P. immaculatus）作为外类群，采用贝叶斯法（Bayesian）、最简约 法（maximum pasimony, MP）和邻接法（neighbour-joining, NJ）构建系统发育树。 结果显示： 1. 鰋鮡鱼类为一单系类群，并且与褶鮡属互为姐妹群关系； 2. 原鮡属、鰋属和凿齿鮡属是鰋鮡鱼类的三个基部类群； 3. 异齿鰋属构成为一个单系群，大鳍异齿鰋最早从该属的基部分化出来； 4. 石爬鮡属构成一个单系，并与分布于金沙江水系的中华鮡＋前臀鮡构成姐妹 群，黄石爬鮡和青石爬鮡的单倍型相互交错；显示两个物种的分类是不合适的， 而是同一水系不同支流种群之间梯度变异的例子，依据本次研究所得出的三个分 支图，结合青石爬鮡自西至东分布于金沙江、雅砻江、大渡河、青衣江、岷江等 的分布格局以及形态特征的分布，显示形态特征的分布变化有以下趋势：自西至 东，腹鳍位置逐渐前移；颌须渐趋缩短；胸鳍趋向发达、伸达腹鳍起点。这些变 化趋势是同一水系不同支流种群之间梯度变异的极好例子； 5. 分布于澜沧江以西（包括澜沧江）水系的鮡属鱼类（扁头鮡、细尾鮡、短鳍 鮡）与分布于怒江和伊洛瓦底江水系的拟鰋属鱼类构成为一支，并且二者共同与 分布于元江上游（红河水系）的大孔鮡构成为单系。其中，短体拟鰋和拟鰋互为 姐妹种；而扁头鮡和短鳍鮡也互为姐妹种；细尾鮡的系统地位则尚不能确定； 6. 无论在MP 树、贝叶斯树还是NJ 树中，石爬鮡属、鮡属、拟鰋属和异齿鰋属 构成一个单系，并且支持率达到了100％。 7. 鰋属位于鰋鮡鱼类的基部，是较早就从鰋鮡鱼类祖先中演化出来的一个类群， 鰋类的口吸盘是一个趋同性状，是在急流环境条件下形成的一种适应性性状，在 鰋类各属中不是同源特征； 8. 鮡属鱼类不是一个单系类群，分布于金沙江流域的鮡属鱼类与同流域分布的石爬鮡属鱼类聚成一支；澜沧江及其以西水系分布的鮡属鱼类与同流域分布的拟 鰋属鱼类聚成一支，之后这两支又同异齿鰋属共同构成为一个大支。 结合鰋鮡鱼类的系统发育分支图对其动物地理学进行研究。鰋鮡鱼类是由类 似纹胸鮡属（Glyptothorax）鱼类的祖先演化而来，鰋属（Exostoma）和凿齿鮡 属（Glaridoglanis）是较早就从从类似原鮡的祖先中演化出来，鮡属、石爬鮡属、 拟鰋属和异齿鰋属这一大支由类似原鮡的祖先演化而来。在青藏高原强烈隆起等 重大地理隔离事件发生之前，类似于现生的原鮡属鱼类已经广布喜马拉雅山脉东 西两侧。在青藏高原强烈隆起等重大地理隔离事件发生后，鰋鮡鱼类在相同的地 理隔离下独自演化为现在的分布格局。

论文以线粒体细胞色素b 基因对裂腹鱼属鱼类的两个分布广泛的物种 (灰裂腹鱼Schizothorax griseus 和光唇裂腹鱼Schizothorax lissolabiatus)进行了谱系地理学研究；对灰裂腹鱼进行了物种分化研究；对光唇裂腹鱼进行了地理变异研究；并进一步对横断山区分布的裂腹鱼属鱼类进行了谱系地理学研究；整理了中国境内伊洛瓦底江水系分布的裂腹鱼属鱼类。对灰裂腹鱼和光唇裂腹鱼的谱系地理学研究结果表明：1、来自不同水系的灰裂腹鱼和光唇裂腹鱼个体间存在明显的遗传差异，两个物种各自不呈单系；灰裂腹鱼和光唇裂腹鱼同域分布的个体有共享单倍型的情况；北盘江、牛栏江、乌江和元江的个体在系统树上有较近的亲缘关系。2、对灰裂腹鱼进行了重新描述并对来自于不同水系被认为是灰裂腹鱼的标本进行了查看，结果表明：灰裂腹鱼分布于金沙江下游及其支流；分布于澜沧江的，过去被认为是灰裂腹鱼的种类代表裂腹鱼属鱼类一新种——裸腹裂腹鱼Schizothorax nudiventris sp. nov.；分布于南盘江的过去被认为是灰裂腹鱼的种类代表一新种——异鳔裂腹鱼Schizothorax heterophysallidos sp. nov.；分布于北盘江的过去被认为是灰裂腹鱼的种类代表一新种——北盘裂腹鱼Schizothorax beipanensis sp. nov.。3、本研究还陈述了光唇裂腹鱼的各地理种群(怒江、澜沧江、元江、南盘江和北盘江)部分形态特征以及差异情况。主成分分析结果表明：怒江和澜沧江个体在形态上无差异；澜沧江上游和下游个体在部分特征上表现出一定程度上的渐变异。4、横断山区裂腹鱼属鱼类的谱系地理学研究表明：系统树不支持裂腹鱼属鱼类亚属的划分；本属不同种类Cyt b 基因序列的最大遗传距离为11.2%；怒江和澜沧江的个体以较高的支持率聚成一单系；伊洛瓦底江水系与雅鲁藏布江的个体以较高的支持率聚成一单系；金沙江流域与元江、南盘江、北盘江的个体聚成一单系；晚中新世(9.5 Ma) 和早上新世(3.6 Ma)的青藏高原的强烈隆升可能是横断山区裂腹鱼属鱼类物种分化的重要时间；裂腹鱼属鱼类的演化是历史生物地理学过程中隔离分化假说的一个实例；横断山区的古河道向南入海可能有3 个方向，它们是雅鲁藏布-伊洛瓦底江方向、怒江-澜沧江方向、金沙江及其支流-红河方向(包括南盘江-红河)；不支持长江第一湾为袭夺湾的观点，古金沙江入古红河可能不经剑川-洱海一线；滇中、滇东北水系发育复杂。5、本研究还对中国境内伊洛瓦底江水系分布的裂腹鱼属鱼类进行了整理。认为本地区裂腹鱼属鱼类共8 种(包括2 新种)：南方裂腹鱼Schizothorax meridionalis、奇异裂腹鱼Schizothorax heteri sp. nov.、独龙裂腹鱼Schizothorax dulongensis、软刺裂腹鱼Schizothorax malacathus、少鳞裂腹鱼 Schizothorax oligolepis、吸口裂腹鱼Schizothorax myzostomus、细身裂腹鱼 Schizothorax elongatus 和白体裂腹鱼Schizothorax leukus sp. nov.。

Nanoparticle-amplified Surface Plasmon Resonance Study of Protein Conformational Change at Interface

This paper reports the study of protein conformational change by Au nanoparticles (AUNPs)-amplified surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy. Taking cytochrome c (Cyt c) as an example, this paper gives a detailed description of the construction of metal-protein-metal sandwich nanostructure consisting of an Au film underlayer, a cytochrome c intermediate layer and an AuNPs upper layer. The incorporation of AuNPs into SPR biosensing results in increased SPR sensitivity to protein conformational change as demonstrated by acid denaturation of Cyt c. It suggests the conformational change of surface-confined Cyt c leads to the distance and electromagnetic coupling variations of Au film-AuNPs.

A bifunctional structure for the direct electron transfer of Cytochrome c

It was found that silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles modified onto glassy carbon (GC) electrode exhibited a dramatic promotion on the direct electron transfer of Cytochrome c (Cyt c). The corresponding mechanism was discussed based on the electrochemical characteristics and a spatial geometrical model of the bifunctional structure. The model could offer insight to the study of biosensors and bioreactors without chemical mediator and serve as a basis for their fabrication. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Surface plasmon resonance and electrochemistry characterization of layer-by-layer self-assembled DNA and Zr4+ thin films, and their interaction with cytochrome c

Through electrostatic layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly, negatively charged calf thymus double stranded DNA (CTds-DNA), and positively charged Zr4+ ions were alternately deposited on gold substrate modified with chemisorbed cysteamine. Thus-prepared three-dimensional DNA networks were characterized by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (IR-RAS). SPR spectroscopy indicates that the effective thickness of DNA monolayer in the (DNA/Zr4+), bilayer was 1.5 +/- 0.1 nm, which corresponds to the surface coverage of 79% of its full packed monolayer. At the same time, a linear increase of film thickness with increasing number of layers was also confirmed by SPR characterizations. The data of XPS and IR-RAS show that Zr4+ ions interact with both the phosphate groups and nitrogenous bases of DNA and load into the framework of DNA. Furthermore, the interactions between this composite film and heme protein cytochrome c (Cyt c) were investigated by SPR spectroscopy and electrochemistry.

Compared with the adsorption of Cyt c on DNA monolayer, this composite multilayer film can obviously enhance the amount of immobilized Cyt c confirmed by SPR reflectivity-incident angle (R-theta) curves.

Direct electrochemistry behavior of Cytochrome c on silicon dioxide nanoparticles-modified electrode

A newfangled direct electrochemistry behavior of Cytochrome c (Cyt c) was found on glassy carbon (GC) electrode modified with the silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles by physical adsorption. A pair of stable and well-defined redox peaks of Cyt c ' quasi-reversible electrochemical reaction were obtained with a heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant of 1.66 x 10(-3) cm/s and a formal potential of 0.069 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) (0.263 V versus NHE) in 0.1 mol/L pH 6.8 PBS. Both the size and the amount of SiO2 nanoparticles could influence the electron transfer between Cyt c and the electrode. Electrostatic interaction which is between the negative nanoparticle surface and positively charged amino acid residues on the Cyt c surface is of importance for the stability and reproducibility toward the direct electron transfer of Cyt c. It is suggested that the modification of SiO2 nanoparticles proposes a novel approach to realize the direct electrochemistry of proteins.

Direct electron transfer between cytochrome c and a gold nanoparticles modified electrode

Quasi-reversible and direct electrochemistry of cytochrome c (cyt. c) has been obtained at a novel electrochemical interface constructed by self-assembling gold nanoparticles (GNPs) onto a three-dimensional silica gel network, without polishing or any modification of the surface. A cleaned gold electrode was first immersed in a hydrolyzed sol of the precursor (3-mercaptopropyl)-trimethoxysilane to assemble three-dimensional silica gel, then the GNPs were chemisorbed onto the thiol groups of the sol-gel network and modified the kinetic barrier of this self-assembled silicate film. Cyclic voltammetry and AC impendance spectroscopy were performed to evaluate electrochemical properties of the as prepared interface. These nanoparticle inhibits the adsorption of cyt. c onto bare electrode and acts as a bridge of electron transfer between protein and electrode.

细胞色素c在纳米氧化铝模板修饰电极上的直接电化学

细胞色素c(Cytochrome c, Cyt c)是生物体中最常见的氧化-还原蛋白质, 研究其在电极上的直接电化学, 对于理解和认识生命体内的电子转移机制具有重要意义[1]. Cyt c与裸固体电极表面的直接接触通常会使其失去生物活性, 因此, Cyt c的电化学研究常借助于媒介体以实现其与电极之间的电子转移[2]. 纳米金属氧化物模板的表面积大且化学和光化学性质稳定, 被广泛应用于太阳能电池[3]和金属沉积[4]等领域. 本文研究氧化铝(AAO)模板对4,4′-二硫二吡啶存在下Cyt c直接电化学促进作用.

Surface-enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy and spectroscopy study of redox-induced conformational equilibrium of cytochrome c adsorbed on DNA-modified metal electrode

The redox-induced conformational equilibrium of cytochrome c (cyt c) adsorbed on DNA-modified metal electrode and the interaction mechanism of DNA with cyt c have been studied by electrochemical, spectroscopic and spectroelectrochemical techniques. The results indicate that the external electric field induces potential-dependent coordination equilibrium of the adsorbed cyt c between its oxidized state (with native six-coordinate low-spin and non-native five-coordinate high-spin heme configuration) and its reduced state (with native six-coordinate low-spin heme configuration) on DNA-modified metal electrode. The strong interactions between DNA and cyt c induce the self-aggregation of cyt c adsorbed on DNA. The orientational distribution of cyt c adsorbed on DNA-modified metal electrode is potential-dependent, which results in the deviation from an ideal Nernstian behavior of the adsorbed cyt c at high electrode potentials. The electric-field-induced increase in the activation barrier of proton-transfer steps attributed to the rearrangement of the hydrogen bond network and the self-aggregation of cyt c upon adsorption on DNA-modified electrode strongly decrease the interfacial electron transfer rate.

Syntheses of fully sulfonated polyaniline nano-networks and its application to the direct electrochemistry of cytochrome c

Fully sulfonated polyaniline nano-particles, nano-fibrils and nano-networks have been achieved for the first time by electrochemical homopolymerization of orthanilic acid using a three-step electrochemical deposition procedure in a mixed solvent of acetonitrile (ACN) and water. The diameter of the uniform nano-particles is about 60nm, and the nano-fibrils can be organized in two-dimensional (21)) or three-dimensional (313) non-periodic networks with good electrical contact. Average distance between contacts is about 850 and 600 nm for a 2D and 3D system, respectively. The details of the poly(orthanilic acid) (POA) nano-structure were examined with a field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM). The structure and properties of POA were characterized with FTIR, UV-vis and electrochemical methods. The 3D POA nano-networks coated platinum electrode gave a direct electrochemical behavior of horse heart cytochrome c (Cyt c) immobilized on this electrode surface, a pair of well-defined redox waves with formal potential (E-ol) of -0.032 V (versus Ag/AgCl) was achieved. The interaction between Cyt c and POA makes the formal potential shift negatively compared to that of Cyt c in solution. Spectrophotometric and electrochemical methods were used to investigate the interaction of Cyt c with POA.

The electrochemistry of cytochrome c at a viologen-thiol self-assembled monolayer

At the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of a thiol-functionalized viologen modified gold electrode, cytochrome c (cyt c) exhibits a quasi-reversible electrochemical reaction. The heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant of cyt c in 0.1 mol/L phosphate buffer solution(pH 6.96) is 0.164 cm.s(-1) at 500 mV/s. The adsorbed cyt c on the viologen SAM forms a closely packed monolayer, whose average electron transfer rate is 4.85 s(-1) in the scan range of 50 to 500 mV/s. These results suggest that the SAM of viologen-thiol is a relatively stable, ordered and well-behaved monolayer from an electrochemical standpoint and it promotes the electron transfer process of biomolecules on electrode surface well.

Scanning tunnelling microscopy observation of cytochrome-c denaturation induced by bromopyrogal red on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite

The denaturation of cytochrome-e (cyt-c) induced by bromopyrogal red (BPR) was studied by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) on the electrochemically pretreated highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface. STM images reveal that denatured cyt-c molecules exist in variable states including aggregates, globular compact, partially unfolded and combined with BPR molecule. The apparently low image contrast of denatured cyt-c observed in this experiment comparing to that of native cyt-c molecules, and the relative low image contrast of the unfolded part comparing with the compact globular part, are ascribed to the unfavourable tunnelling paths for the conformational variations of denatured cyt-c molecules.

Direct electron transfer to cytochrome c oxidase in self-assembled monolayers on gold electrodes

The monolayer of cytochrome c oxidase maintaining physiological activity and attached covalently to the self-assembled monolayers of 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) on a gold electrode was obtained. The results of cyclic voltammetry show that direct electron transfer between cytochrome c oxidase and the electrode surface is a fast and diffusionless process. MPA has a dual role as both electrode modifier and the bridging molecule which: keeps cytochrome c oxidase at an appropriate orientation without denaturation and enables direct electron transfer between the protein and the modified electrode. Immobilized cytochrome c oxidase exhibits biphasic phenomena between the concentration of the electrolyte and the normal potentials; meanwhile its electrochemical behavior is also influenced by the buffer components. The quasi-reversible electron transfer process of cytochrome c oxidase with formal potential 385 mV vs. SHE in 5mM phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.4) corresponds to the redox reaction of cyt a(3) in cytochrome c oxidase, and the heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant obtained is 1.56 s(-1). By cyclic voltammetry measurements, it was observed that oxidation and reduction of cytochrome c in solution were catalyzed by the immobilized cytochrome c oxidase. This cytochrome c oxidase/MPA/Au system provides a good mimetic model to study the physiological functions of membrane-associated enzymes and hopefully to build a third-generation biosensor without using a mediator.
